    Definitely, me too! :lol:

    I would think prime Breidis would've done similar, but turned it around faster and turned it up harder... Probably knocking out Jai in rounds 9-12 somewhere.

    I got Usyk however seeing the old dogs losing tonight has me slightly worried and Usyk isn't a spring chicken. But if Usyk is anything like the version from the AJ fights I think he's got this.

    Wow still can't believe we are actually not only gotta get Fury-Usyk. But as well a fight for the undisputed heavyweight championship.

    Three months ago. I had a dream about the fight. Fury started out very jittery, almost looking like he was scared. Usyk pressed him through out the first and won it. Second round Usyk all over him, constantly tagging him and ultimately dropping Fury via left to the chin. Fury gets up, but is very wobbled and goes down again. Fury barely manages to get. Usyk goes for the finish, but the bell rings and that's the end of round 2. Round 3 Usyk goes for the kill and floors Fury again for the third time. Ref waves it off and Usyk is declared the winner via TKO 3.

    Yeah for some reason Fury was very weak in my dream. Part of me wants it to happen this way, because it's almost 2 am in my part of the woods. :lol:

    Exactly how I felt. Just looked like he took 3 rounds going “right that’s how I do it Mari” think by th 5th he knew a late rally was on so Achilles his way to the 10th and almost pulled it off.

    good fight though. will be seen as just a fight in the division but feel that he has another few fights in him. Looked rusty, not old

    I edited my post a little but I stand by it, we've seen nights where he's shown greatness and other times when he hasn't looked good. He's a tremendous fighter but not as consistently great as most other greats.

    Opetaia is not as good as I thought he was. He was on his bike in the championship rounds against an almost 40-year-old Briedis with a broken nose and two years of ring rust. Opetaia was saved by the simple fact that he is 13 or so years younger. If they were around the same age, Briedis would destroy him. The cruiserweight division is in a sorry state if Opetaia is the best they can offer.

    Crazy. Kind of like a lesser carbon copy of the first fight. Jai dominated the first half, broke Briedis' nose, and then Briedis came on late and hurt Jai and it looked like he might get him out of there.

    Briedis is going to kick himself he didn't start doing that earlier.

    Briedis let a big vicious uppercut go earlier in the fight which just whizzed past Jai's chin and I thought to myself Jai doesn't want to get caught clean with one of those and I think he did in the 10th because he was hurt and holding on tight.

    But it was an Impressive performance by Jai and once again he displayed lovely skills. He'll clean up at CW with ease. But by the same token what an impressive and gallant finish by Briedis. He's made out of iron and that includes his fists. There isn't a 29 y/o CW who could give Jai as tough a fight as that, let alone a 39 y/o so it was impressive performance by both Jai and him and I'm happy with that because I'm a big fan of both.

    How often do 40 year old veterans give such an account of themselves against THE young monster in the division? All respect to Briedis

    LOL, Imagine Fury pulls out after falling from his ring walk platform and breaking his arm.
